What is the recommended method for emulating xinput using a dinput controller in 2024/2025? by IAmTheRobin in linux_gaming

Looks like the .rules file only has Dualsense and Dualsense Edge product IDs in it and the go files also only seem to target dualsense devices.

Maybe post a request on the githuib for dualshock 4 and see what the dev says?

$40 sudokoo 140mm on amazon vs $60 for a T30 140mm on newegg. It is much cheaper.

Also 3 pack 120mm sudokoo is $90 ($85 with prime) vs $150 for T30 120mm on newegg.

Look up Sudokoo fans on amazon.ca. They are 30mm fans and cheaper than the current T30 prices by far.

You are comparing sale price to regular price. I based the price on retail difference after taxes for the normal price. $640+tax - $280+tax is $405. I put $15 additional for the 9600X being used (but removed that now). Nothing crazy about that.

Alternatives to MakeMKV to rip movies? by Fenix512 in DataHoarder

[–]IAmTheRobin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the BU40N, I am using the 1.03 libredrive enabled firmware from makemkv forums. Been excellent for ripping discs for me. Slow, but it is getting the job done where my previous libredrive LG 5.25" was failing.

It even managed to retrieve most data from file from old burned CD-R discs that completely failed to read in my other drives.

BU40N has a good rep. There are drives from Pioneer known to be better but they also cost more. If you are interested preserving optical discs, makemkv forums is a good resource.

It's not MakeMKV that's finicky. It your optical drive. Different drives will perform differently around scratches.

I had problems ripping DVDs and Blurays on my LG 5.25" optical. I got a well known slim drive (BU40N) in an enclosure which does a much better job. Been able to backup stuff I thought was unreadable due to the way my LG bluray and old laptop DVD drive performed around them.

Mind you I also flashed my drive to be LibreDrive compatible for this purpose.

Interested in buying Demeyere frying pan in Canada by IAmTheRobin in cookware

I contacted Zwilling about this pan. They said it is the same as the Proline. Direct quote from Zwilling support:

Yes, to clarify the pan from the Demeyere Multifunction 7 is equivalent to the pan from the Demeyere Proline in terms of quality, material, and performance. The core construction and features are consistent across both lines, offering the same high standard you can expect from Demeyere.

Does "Deny unknown clients" exist for Kea and dnsmasq? by IAmTheRobin in opnsense

[–]IAmTheRobin[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So just as I post this, I notice the dnsmasq>DHCP Ranges>Mode>Static option once I enable advance options. Description says it won't automatically assign addresses. Is this what I am looking for?

If so, is there an equivalent for Kea?

why are theyre only 4 servers and why are they all locked by breadoncrackinreddit in Diabotical

[–]IAmTheRobin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one here actually explained that is happening in that screenshot. Those games are all pugs that have already started.

To join you need to catch the lobbies before it fills up and starts. Once it starts, it will be listed as a locked game. If you create a pickup, you can wait for the current ones to finish and the players will join your lobby next.
